Mo Twister slams Ariella Arida over 'offensive' comment about Latinas

MANILA, Philippines - Radio jockey Mo Twister took to social media to criticize Miss Universe-Philippines 2013 Ariella Arida over a comment she made in an interview about Latinas.

On his Instagram account earlier today, Oct. 22, Mo posted a video clip of Arida being interviewed by Karen Davila in her ANC morning program “Headstart.”

In the clip, Arida can be seen saying: “To really express myself, to convey a message to the people.”

“Especially, Latinas cannot even speak a sentence, right? I mean, a complete sentence, in English.”

Mo said in the caption to the video: “I don’t intend to bash on out Ms. Philippines here but how the f--- is this not considered offensive toward Latinas? I mean, we ALWAYS get so sensitive when someone says anything about us Filipinos (see Dan Brown, Alec Baldwin and every other time we screamed murder) yet our girl representing our country, in a legit interview regarding the competition, says Latinas can’t out a sentence together in English.”

He further said, “That would rally piss me off if I were of Latin descent. I’m pretty sure we would lose our minds if we heard an interview of a contestant saying, ‘Filipinos can’t string a sentence together’ and our Senator/Congressman would persona non grata that b**** immediately.”

“I’m also quite certain that a few of the Latina contestants can cook up a few intelligible lines in English that would leave Ariella here dizzy in her heels. Best of luck to her in the competition. Now back to my NBA Fantasy Team,” Mo ended.

The radio jockey also took his comments to Twitter.

Who cares about winning the crown, I'd be more concerned that a Latin media outlet picking it up & pissing off an entire population & she-

-and she gets booed on stage during the pageant. I wouldn't be so harsh if it were a sitcom but it was a news interview about the pageant.
